libdraw: avoid deadlock for mouse ioproc sending on resizec

a deadlock has been observed with samterm (thanks burnzez),
that shows the mouse ioproc being stuck in sending on the
resize channel, while the mouse consumer is stuck in a
readmouse() loop wanting a rectangle to be drawn by the
user:

recv(v=0x42df50)+0x28 /sys/src/libthread/channel.c:321
readmouse(mc=0x42df50)+0x54 /sys/src/libdraw/mouse.c:34
getrect(.ret=0x41bce0,but=0x4,mc=0x42df50)+0x62 /sys/src/libdraw/getrect.c:49
	r=0x41bc70
	rc=0x41bc70
getr(rp=0x41bce0)+0x24 /sys/src/cmd/samterm/main.c:244
	p=0x6b000004f6
	r=0x2
sweeptext(new=0x0,tag=0x2d)+0x12 /sys/src/cmd/samterm/menu.c:208
	r=0x2
	t=0x42df50
inmesg(type=0x2,count=0x2)+0x1ab /sys/src/cmd/samterm/mesg.c:136
	m=0x10000002d
	l=0x2d00001b00
	i=0x43829000000001
	t=0x438290
	lp=0x42e050
rcv()+0x7a /sys/src/cmd/samterm/mesg.c:77
threadmain(argv=0x7ffffeffef90)+0x173 /sys/src/cmd/samterm/main.c:63

so avoid blocking in the mouse ioproc by using nbsend()
instead of send() for writing to the resize channel.
